Roll Me Away Lyrics

Took a look down a westbound road,Right away i made my choiceHeaded out to my big two-wheeler,I was tired of my own voiceTook a bead on the northern plainsAnd just rolled that power on

Twelve hours out of mackinaw cityStopped in a bar to have a brewMet a girl and we had a few drinksAnd i told her what i'd decided to doShe looked out the window a long long momentThen she looked into my eyesShe didn't have to say a thing,I knew what she was thinkin'

Roll, roll me away,Won't you roll me away tonightI too am lost, i feel double-crossedAnd i'm sick of what's wrong and what's rightWe never even said a word,We just walked out and got on that bikeAnd we rolledAnd we rolled clean out of sight

We rolled across the high plainsDeep into the mountainsFelt so good to meFinally feelin' free

Somewhere along a high roadThe air began to turn coldShe said she missed her homeI headed on alone

Stood alone on a mountain top,Starin' out at the great divideI could go east, i could go west,It was all up to me to decideJust then i saw a young hawk flyin'And my soul began to riseAnd pretty soonMy heart was singin'

Roll, roll me away,I'm gonna roll me away tonightGotta keep rollin, gotta keep ridin',Keep searchin' till i find what's rightAnd as the sunset fadedI spoke to the faintest first starlightAnd i said next timeNext timeWe'll get it right
